Jay, some things are shocking and some are just animal like. I suppose your friend is not a female. Also, tossing a weapon of mass destruction into a crowded elevator shows psychopathic attitudes. He is obviously in need of some wider open spaces and a less anonymous life. On the other hand, harking once again back to my Britannic House days, there was a guy, whose name escapes me right now, but with some memory retrieval I'd get it, who would come into our office. "Our" was 4 of us, a boss and 3 specialists, one of whom smoked cigars and the boss smoked cigarettes, so it wasn't a totally clean atmosphere. Well, this guy would come in, announce "I have come to fart". He would then indulge his flatulent nature and report "I have farted". I don't recall whether he'd leave or whether he actually had business with us on each occasion. But I recall that very clearly. We obviously inhabit similar worlds. I think such sociopathic behaviour is a natural expression of frustration at the life to which they are confined. Because this is a family thread, I shall not report what the large male chimp would do in the Regents Park zoo. He was obviously sociopathic too [and closely related to your friend and my colleague at BP Oil]. I will say that he created great disturbance in the crowd of onlookers, which was presumably the same sort of reaction your friend and my colleague would get and were seeking. Caging large male primates and harrassing them with onlookers, telephones, intrays, bosses and unnatural surroundings obviously induces such behaviour. Mqurice
